Honestly, the best beer I have ever had. Made it as a clone of a beer I used to drink in London, by the same name. Enjoy!

    2-Row Caramel Malt 40L; Briess

    Sweet, Caramel, Toffee. S Characteristics & Applications: • In contrast to Brewers Malt, glassiness is a distinguishing characteristic of Caramel Malt.
